Flower - Week 4 (Days 22-28) Day 22 (Jan 22) I did a reservoir change at 00:30. Fresh numbers: pH 5.81, EC 1588. It felt like a clean reset after all the EC creep and the general “why are the numbers doing this?” vibe. Plant looked strong. No drama in the canopy. Buds forming, everything looked like it was on track. I was honestly feeling pretty good about it. Day 23 (Jan 23) At 01:15 I topped off with about 2½ L pH’d water and landed at EC 1566, pH 5.79. Same session: I did a lot of work - heavy LST in the trellis, supercropped one branch, and pulled a few big fan leaves to open light to lower bud sites. The plant took it like it was nothing. That’s been the story: I mess with her, she just keeps growing and throwing bud sites. Great… but it also means I’m still running out of vertical space. Day 24 (Jan 24) At 01:00 I measured EC 1668, pH 6.0 and did massive LST work again. Also took a picture of the root ball and it looked amazing - clean white, crisp, and huge. That was a relief, because when the canopy is getting dense and the tent is getting tight, it’s nice to know the foundation is bulletproof. I also had to move the oscillating fan because there’s basically no room above canopy anymore. I ended up hanging it upside down under the canopy (not ideal), and I even saw a tiny bit of condensation forming between leaves higher up. That made my stomach drop a bit, because I can’t really “create more air” out of thin air in a packed tent. Day 25 (Jan 25) Around 01:00 I got an EC reading 2000+ that didn’t make sense to me. Plant still looked fine, so I didn’t want to panic-correct based on a single number. But mentally it was annoying: I can handle a plant problem, but I hate “do I even trust the data?” problems. I was still doing LST, but I stopped supercropping because I don’t want to stack stress and end up stunting her - especially with my harvest timeline in the back of my head. It finally seems to have ended the stretch. Good! Day 26 (Jan 26) At lights on (around 00:15) I finally saw it: discoloration on upper fan leaves (right side). It reminded me of the early grow issues. My working theory was that I’d been pouring concentrated low-pH top-off water on the same side, basically creating a micro-zone and stressing one part of the root system. Later I also had that “oh fuck” moment where I noticed the airline to the air stone had disconnected - no idea how long, but likely when I stirred. Luckily roots still looked fine and the plant didn’t look like it had crashed, so I think I dodged a real disaster there. Still… not the kind of surprise you want in DWC. Day 27 (Jan 27) At lights on (00:30) it was a total mess. The upper canopy looked wrecked fast - most top leaves damaged, necrotic spotting, and the tent smelled like wet hay. That’s the kind of smell that instantly makes your brain go to worst-case scenarios. I drained the reservoir and the numbers were completely wack: EC ~3000, pH 6.8. That explained everything. I did a full res change immediately and replaced it with a sane mix: EC 1622, pH 5.63. And honestly, I don’t know if this happened because I switched to a new brand of pH down and screwed up somewhere, or if it’s just the combination of high uptake + my top-off method + small res volume catching up with me. But the timing feels… suspicious. Day 28 (Jan 28) At lights on (around 00:15) the damage hadn’t spread further. The canopy still looks ugly - lots of necrotic patches on leaves - but the plant itself doesn’t look like it’s dying. Buds look largely unaffected, which is a huge relief. I removed the worst leaves, but I’m trying not to go crazy stripping her. The vibe right now is: she took a hard hit, I corrected it as fast as I could, and now the only smart move is stability. No more hero moves. Just let her recover and keep building flowers.

Critical Purple Kush ha pretty much finished the stretch phase and entering the finishing stage. A noticeable amount of hair changing to orange and lots of trichomes. Some node stacking this week, but starting to slow down. Lower buds started bulking up. Smelling very strong this week, and very sticky. This plant has thirst like not other, but started to see more runoff this week. Flowers stacking hard and Still drinking 6-8 gallons of water every 3 days. Getting oranges hairs and resin production is ramping up. I was able to get a batch of boogie brew in this week. I also went ahead and added the bee pollen I was curious about. It has lots of ammino acids, and so does the fish fertilizer i have but I don't like using that in flower so maybe this could help. Its been sitting around for years and says its expired in 2019 though i don't think it ever really goes bad unless it moldy or something. I figure at worst I piss off some people for being curious. So i dissolved it in some water and added about a cup to about 40 gallons of water. Each plant got roughly 1/4 cup. I been pushing these plants to the limit. I haven't been wanting to turn my lights down because they are helping to keep my humidity in check. Even been running the de-humidifier day and night now. Also been trying to go an extra day between watering to keep the humidity down as well. it was over 90 percent humidity much of the weeks outside. The thermostat got messed with mid week and temps in the tents got to 92 again a few hours at the end of their day cycle. I think this week I will adjust the lights to turn off 30 minutes sooner, and try to get them to start drinking a little less water

La più piccolina di tutte la Cherry ma anche lei super cime compatte ed odore fuori dal normale, in attesa di essere secca e pesata anche lei, resina ovunque anche per lei, non vedo l'ora di fumaria, nonostante attaccata dalle mosche bianche per prima ha resistito molto bene alle avversità esterne. Grazie fast buds, grazie amici che mi supportate e a presto per migliori aggiornamenti!

Hned začátkem tohoto týdne jsem defolijoval levou a zdá se že jí to donutilo konečně přepnout do květu protože hned druhý den se začaly tvořit paldy takže jede bomby. Včera jsem defolijoval i pravou a to řádně protože už byla prorostlá a chtěl jsem dostat světlo a vzduch k těm vnitřním paldám aby se taky pěkně opriskatily a celkově se jí daří ale doufám že tý pravý jsem toho nevzal moc a snad se zase rozjede bomby, vidím že tam bude hromada dobroty ale nelíbí se mi jak začali po té defolijaci žloutnout blizny a takhle už jí nejspíš nechám až do sklizně. Levou plánuju ještě defolijovat, asi tak za dva dny a zkusím jí zase trochu roztáhnout, dát pod síť a tím snížit protože je o moc vyšší než ta pravá. Držte palce a ať to roste :)

Day 105- So we are on week 8 of flower as of 2 days ago. Day 105 from seed. I watered both plants today with Jack's. I'm hoping this is the last time with nutes for at least one of the girls. My sativa has mostly cloudy trichomes so I'm going to start flushing her after this. I'm thinking she will be where I want her to be in a week. Maybe a tad longer. I'm waiting out the indica a little while longer because I'm shooting for a decent amount of amber. I can see the finish line What a major learning experience. So humbled to share this journey with you all. Not a perfect grow by any means but I hope to use this knowledge and crush my second grow. Day 109- Started 36 hours of dark at 5:30am Day 110- Trimmed and hung. What a ride it has been! Can't wait to update with a dry weight.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 6 (Early Flower) 🌱 Flowers Are Taking Over One of the things I've enjoyed most about this 8×8 Adventure is watching every phenotype slowly reveal its own personality. Even though every plant shares the same environment, the same feeding schedule, and the same care, each one tells its own story. Frosted Guava Pheno A has become one of those plants that quietly earns your attention. She has never been the tallest plant in the room or the one demanding the spotlight. Instead, she has grown with remarkable balance, developing a beautiful natural structure that now serves as the perfect foundation for flower production. Last week marked her transition into flowering. This week, there's no longer any doubt. She's officially focused on building buds. 🌸 Week 6 – Bud Development Begins The stretch is now coming to an end, and the plant has begun redirecting her energy exactly where every grower hopes to see it. Flowers. Standing at approximately 101 cm, Frosted Guava has maintained a wonderfully compact yet well-proportioned structure. Every branch has found its place within the canopy, creating a plant that looks organized, balanced, and incredibly healthy from every angle. The small clusters of pistils that appeared last week have now developed into clearly defined bud sites. Each branch is beginning to stack flowers, and the canopy is starting to display that exciting early-flowering look where every top promises something special in the weeks ahead. The pace has changed. Instead of racing upward, she's quietly building outward. And she's doing it beautifully. 🌿 Canopy Development & Training The work invested during vegetative growth continues to pay dividends. Regular Low Stress Training, combined with simple leaf tucking whenever necessary, has allowed nearly every flowering site to receive excellent light exposure without forcing the plant into an unnatural shape. Looking across the canopy, it's easy to appreciate how evenly the branches have developed. The spacing between internodes remains ideal, giving each future cola enough room to mature while maintaining a full, productive canopy. Airflow continues moving freely throughout the plant, reducing shaded areas while allowing every branch to contribute equally to the final harvest. Sometimes less really is more. Rather than constantly correcting the plant, allowing her natural architecture to guide the training has produced a structure that feels effortless. 🌼 Flower Development This week the flowers have noticeably changed character. The bright white pistils continue multiplying across every branch, but now they're gathering into small clusters that clearly resemble the buds they'll soon become. Every day brings a little more volume. A few more calyxes. A few more pistils. A little more definition. It's still early, but the framework of every future cola is becoming easy to recognize. While resin production is only beginning to appear, there's already that familiar feeling every grower loves. The plant is entering the stage where everything starts happening faster. 🍃 Plant Health Health continues to be one of Frosted Guava's strongest qualities. The foliage maintains a rich, healthy green color from the bottom of the canopy right through to the newest growth. Leaf posture remains excellent throughout the day, showing strong turgor and steady transpiration despite the warm summer conditions. The stems have continued thickening nicely, supporting the increasing weight that will soon come as flower production accelerates. Overall, she gives the impression of a plant that's completely comfortable in her environment. No signs of stress. No unnecessary drama. Just steady, confident growth. 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation As flower production begins increasing, Frosted Guava has smoothly transitioned into a feeding program designed to support the demands of early bloom while maintaining healthy vegetative function. This week she's receiving: • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Maintaining: • EC: 1.78 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 The AutoPot system continues providing a stable and uninterrupted supply of water and nutrients, allowing the root system to remain active around the clock without experiencing repeated wet and dry cycles. Healthy roots continue supporting healthy flowers. 🌡️ Environment The environment remains remarkably stable, allowing every phenotype in the room to express its genetic potential without unnecessary stress. Current conditions: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Approximately 639 ppm Despite the challenges that summer temperatures can bring, the room continues operating as a balanced ecosystem where strong airflow, consistent irrigation, and stable environmental control allow the plants to remain comfortable throughout the entire day. It's a reminder that consistency often produces better results than constantly chasing perfection. 👀 Looking Ahead The coming week should mark another exciting step in Frosted Guava's development. With the stretch nearly behind her, I expect almost all of her energy to shift toward flower production. Bud sites should begin thickening noticeably, individual flowers will continue joining together, and the first visible layer of trichomes should start appearing across the sugar leaves. This is the stage where the structure she's built over the past several weeks begins paying its rewards. The foundation is there. Now it's time to watch her fill it. 🙏 Final Thoughts Week after week, Frosted Guava Pheno A continues proving that a plant doesn't need to dominate the room to stand out. She has developed into one of the most balanced and elegant phenotypes in this entire project, combining healthy growth, excellent structure, and effortless flower development into a plant that's simply enjoyable to grow. Watching her evolve from a tiny seed into a beautifully formed flowering plant under a 12/12 From Seed schedule has been another reminder that every phenotype has its own pace and its own way of expressing itself. Some plants impress with size. Others impress with symmetry. Frosted Guava is quietly doing both in her own unique way, and I'm genuinely excited to see what she'll become over the coming weeks. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for powering the room with exceptional lighting, AutoPot for keeping the root zone thriving, TrolMaster for maintaining environmental precision, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your encouragement, comments, and support continue to make this 8×8 Adventure even more rewarding. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Big fat colas almost there. You can see the structure, but they’ve just started to fatten up. Those colas are getting heavy. I think I’ll have to help them with a bamboo stick or something else. The smell is very strong, especially if you touch the stems or the sugar leaves. Next week I’ll stop with Big Bud and start with Overdrive 👊
